Can our pouch shrink? Need HELP please

On Oct 27th I got a call about one of my brothers, he was dying, long story short is he pulled through (thank GOD) and I just got home today, I have been out of town at the hospital for 12 days, until today and will go back tomorrow My question is this, I am not eating like I should or drinking like I should while there, because of the stress, and financial issues. I try to get in my protein and I try to remember my vitamins, but ran out, so I came home for a day to stock up my vitamins, and kind of recharge my batteries, but when I went to eat the wonderful dinner my husband made us, I found I could barley eat much at all. Same thing when I drink, I can't drink a lot at once, not like two weeks ago. Can our pouches shrink? I served myself a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, and a ham slice, ate the cottage cheese and was so full I thought I'd get sick, no way could I eat the ham slice, and two weeks ago it would have been no problem to eat more than that. Anyone know the stats on this?

I dont know but i do know that stress.....and exstreme stress can make anyones body go through crazieness. You seem to be going through alot of stress...and i am sorry to hear it as well. The best thing for you to do right now in my opion (spelling) is to try to get what you can in if that means going back on Protien shakes so you can get in more then do it. Stress effects everyone differnt. when i am stressed i want to eat when i am happy i dont eat lol (hmm i must of been really unhappy as fat as i was lol) but just try to keep your situation in the back of your mind and try to be there for your brother. Call your Dr too they would know. I will be thinking about you good luck and i will be thinking of your brother too J

Thank you Julie
